Rockport Launches Spring 2009 Collection

"Where do they take you?" was the question on Rockport's lips as the chic shoe company revealed its Spring 2009 line on October 8 in Toronto. Rockport has perfected advanced shoe technology while offering an assortment of styles and colours that coordinate and fit the rugged terrain of life in and outside of the city.

Rockport is focused on technology that aids active people who want their classic look to have a bit of spunk. The 2009 Signature series features shoes lined with luxurious sheepskin to absorb moisture and features Rockport Dynamic Suspension air cushioning technology for additional foot comfort. The shoe silhouette remains slender and it would be helpful to add more padding and cushioning to their heels and loosen the elastic bands on their flat Mary Janes, but the overall style for spring are classic and sophisticated and because Rockport shoes are made with some of the highest quality materials comfort does take focus.

Wedge heels on the Spring sandals offer maximum back support and floral patterns and satin are all the rage in the Lush life shoe style. Thicker straps dominate the Roquetta strapless wedges and men's tips are rounded with chocolate brown taking the cake for spring 2009.
